We understand that knee pain can significantly impact your daily life. If you’ve been managing discomfort and reduced mobility, it might be time to consider knee replacement surgery.
Signs You Might Need Knee Replacement Surgery
If you’re experiencing persistent knee pain that limits daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or sleeping, it may be time to consider knee replacement surgery. Other indicators include reduced range of motion, stiffness, and visible deformity such as bowing of the legs.

Our knee replacement process is designed for efficiency and comfort:
- Surgery Duration: Approximately 90 minutes.
- Hospital Stay: Typically 1 night.
- Recovery Time: Light exercise can begin around 12 weeks.
- Waiting Time: We aim to see patients within 2 weeks.
Your Knee Replacement Journey
- Consultation: Discuss your symptoms and medical history with our team.
- Assessment: Undergo diagnostic tests to evaluate your knee’s condition.
- Surgery: Performed using advanced techniques for optimal outcomes.
- Recovery: Follow a tailored rehabilitation plan to regain strength and mobility.
Risks to Consider
While knee replacement surgery is generally safe, it’s important to be aware of potential risks:
- Infection or blood clots.
- Implant wear or loosening over time.
- Nerve or blood vessel damage.
- Persistent pain or stiffness.
Our team will discuss these risks with you and take steps to minimise them.
Recovery and Aftercare
